Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] New SOHO ISO's - 1.41txz

[M0E L. <m0...@gm...>]

Actually, uelsk8s ran into the same issue today. I think i got it fixed but
it wouldnt hurt if you try it agan to make sure the peoblem is completely
gone. The new iso's should work just as fine.

Hello,

I haven't forgot about this M0E... I've just been busy lately. I might have
time
tonight to give this a shot. Would you like me to repeat with 1.41txz like
last
time or should I use the updated 1.42txz isos (already downloaded)?

You've probably already done something about the os-prober blank label
issue, but
if not then perhaps if os-prober returns an empty string then something as
simple
as 'unknown' could end up in the label field. The idea is that a label is
better
than no label since lilo will fail with no label. Even better might be if
os-prober returns an empty string then a label indicating filesystem and/or
partition (e.g. ntfs-sda1, vfat-hda1, etc.).

Last, I actually have a bootable OSX partition (sdc1) - you can see it in
the
partition sequence jpeg I attached to a previous email. This was not
detected by
vinstaller at the bootloader section, and therefore was not a boot menu
option.
How do grub and lilo handle booting osx systems, if at all? I idea being
that if a
true mac user wanted to installed VL in a dual-boot scenario would lilo/grub
leave
them without a boot menu option to boot into OSX?

Cheers, newt
